Two additional fixes to prevent agents from writing .cw/output/ in the
wrong location:
1. Always create .cw/output/ at the agent workdir root during spawn,
even when no inputContext is provided. This gives the agent a visible
anchor directory so it doesn't create one inside a project subdir.
2. Add absolute output path instruction to the workspace layout prompt
for multi-project agents, explicitly telling them to write .cw/output/
relative to the workdir root, not their current cd location.
Conflict-resolution agents (and any initiative-based agent) can write
.cw/output/signal.json inside a project subdirectory (e.g.
agent-workdirs/<name>/codewalk-district/.cw/output/) rather than the
parent agent workdir. This caused two failures:
1. spawnInternal wrote spawn-diagnostic.json before registering the
agent in activeAgents and starting pollForCompletion. If the .cw/
directory didn't exist (no inputContext provided), the write threw
ENOENT, orphaning the running process with no completion monitoring.
2. resolveAgentCwd in cleanup-manager and output-handler only probed
for a workspace/ subdirectory (standalone agents) but not project
subdirectories, so reconciliation and completion handling couldn't
find signal.json and marked the agent as crashed.
Fixes:
- Move activeAgents registration and pollForCompletion setup before
the diagnostic write; make the write non-fatal with mkdir -p
- Add project subdirectory probing to resolveAgentCwd in both
cleanup-manager.ts and output-handler.ts
Prevents two bugs in the resumeForCommit flow:
1. Agent navigated to main repo instead of worktree due to relative paths
in commit prompt — now uses absolute paths from getDirtyWorktreePaths
2. git add -A staged unrelated files (screenshots, other agents' work) —
now uses git add -u to only stage tracked modified files
- Track worktree removal success in autoCleanupAfterCompletion() instead of
always returning removed:true when removeAgentWorktrees() throws
- Add removeAgentBranches() call to auto-cleanup path (agent/* branches were
never cleaned after completion)
- Add filesystem cleanup (worktrees, branches, logs) to dismiss() to prevent
resource leaks until next server restart
commitRetryCount was being deleted in cleanupAgentState(), which runs
before tryAutoCleanup() checks the count. This reset the counter to 0
on every cycle, making MAX_COMMIT_RETRIES=1 dead code. Agents would
retry commits forever.
Move commitRetryCount cleanup to stop()/delete() only, letting
tryAutoCleanup() manage it during the retry lifecycle.
Removes blocking readFileSync, writeFileSync, and mkdirSync calls from the
agent spawn hot path, replacing them with async fs/promises equivalents to
avoid stalling the Node.js event loop during credential operations.
writeInputFiles, spawnDetached, and diagnostic writes now use
fs/promises (mkdir, writeFile) instead of mkdirSync/writeFileSync.
File writes in writeInputFiles are batched with Promise.all.
openSync/closeSync for child process stdio FDs remain sync as
spawn() requires the FDs immediately.
Introduces a chat loop where users send instructions to an agent that
applies changes (create/update/delete phases, tasks, pages) and stays
alive for follow-up messages. Includes schema + migration, repository
layer, chat prompt, file-io action field extension, output handler chat
mode, revert support for deletes, tRPC procedures, events, frontend
slide-over UI with inline changeset display and revert, and docs.
Planning modes (plan, refine) get a minimal block with just cw ask
syntax. Execution modes get the full protocol: commands table, shell
recipe for listener lifecycle, targeting guidance, when/when-not
decision criteria, good/bad examples, and answering guidelines.
Move src/ → apps/server/ and packages/web/ → apps/web/ to adopt
standard monorepo conventions (apps/ for runnable apps, packages/
for reusable libraries). Update all config files, shared package
imports, test fixtures, and documentation to reflect new paths.
Key fixes:
- Update workspace config to ["apps/*", "packages/*"]
- Update tsconfig.json rootDir/include for apps/server/
- Add apps/web/** to vitest exclude list
- Update drizzle.config.ts schema path
- Fix ensure-schema.ts migration path detection (3 levels up in dev,
2 levels up in dist)
- Fix tests/integration/cli-server.test.ts import paths
- Update packages/shared imports to apps/server/ paths
- Update all docs/ files with new paths
